A man with no limbs, but has a big God.
This photo was one of my most memorable event in my life. We attended a conference with NICK Vujicic, the man without limbs at CCF center in Pasig with my lovely church mates. Nick is a Evangelist, preacher, motivational speaker and known for his deep faith in God. I'm fan of him since I have watched his inspirational videos in Youtube. He talks about his life, his views in life and perspective, how he hated himself before for having no limbs, and how he came to know Jesus in his life and change his whole life that inspired millions of people around the world. So when I heard that he will be having a conference here in the Philippines my excitement stirred up. And luckily I got my ticket free from our church, what a big blessing for me.
And my most awaited day came. While we were waiting for Nick to show up in stage, my heart was trembling and my body was shaking because of mix emotions of excitement and also because our seats was just 5 steps away from the air-conditioner. While waiting, the hosts finally came up and introduced Nick Vujicic, the people was roaring and clapping their hands while waiting for him to show up. And there he was, the whole crowd was so amazed and he received a standing ovation. I had a goose-bumps and mesmerized by him. His face was enlightened and proud despite having those bearings. By just his look on his face and composure, he can already inspire people. This is just because he has a big God.
Nick is known for his astonishing faith in God. Before, he cursed and viewed his life as nothing, useless and failure and he even committed suicide but when he came to know Jesus in his life, everything has changed. He knew that God has a purpose and has plan for him why God made him like that: and that is to touch millions of people's lives, to inspire, to share the goodness of God through his life and that is what he is doing right now.
"If a man without arms and legs is dreaming big, why can't we, why can't we all" This is one of his words that struck my heart so much. I feel embarrassed and at the same challenged because I am normal and i have a complete body but i don't dream big. I used to view myself as little and i had a low self-steam. And worse was, I didn't do something about it and let myself be like that for a long time. But now, like him when i came to Jesus in my life, not exactly everything but little by little my views and perspective in life began to change and having this conference was one of things that helped me grow as a christian.
After that conference, I concluded that we have different imperfections in life either physically or intangible things in life but it's up to us how we are going to do something out of it. And God has a purpose in everything in our life as well just be close to Him and know him more and we will have a meaningful life just like Nick Vujicic.
